Forum: Brain Droppings

Science-ish brain dropping here. The number of atoms in one gram of hydrogen is (rounding up) approximately 10^24. The number of atoms in planet earth is approximately 10^50. The number of atoms in the observable universe is (very) approximately 10^75. Therefore there are...

Well on my 3rd year conversion from drunk to stoner, I feel I've noticed a few things. My blood pressure is way down. My weight is down. My getting overly pissed about things I can't change went from 10 to nearly zero. I get along better with people. All in all, it's been a positive change....

JLXC is a loser in the job market. I make just over ten bucks and hour. I haven't really made much more than that my entire life. The weirdest thing is... it's been a choice. I could have done any number of things requiring an enormous amount of my time working consistently towards a goal of...

So looking out my back window today I noticed a pile of kittens around my back gate. My first assumption was the local slut cat gave birth to her latest litter... turns out she is still fat and preggers so it ain't her kids. So we go an explore to find a litter of unattended kittens. Seems mom cat...

I've toyed around with the idea of starting a book just containing a collection of various life memories I have. The ones too hard to believe, or just too wild. I don't plan on using only the good ones, or the ones I'm proud of either. I put this in Brain Droppings because it's gonna be a silly...

Is anybody here going to be going? If you don't know what it is, it's Penny Arcade Expo, one of the biggest gaming festivals of the year, and I finally get to go. I missed out on PAX East, which was located in Boston, but I'll be headed to Seattle. I decided to do this over Dragon*Con this year,...

Too much sweetness...

Whilst being down here in little old Australia, and listening to a national radio station's current affairs program (triple j's Hack for those down under). They brought up the topic of cyber bullying, and the difference between a heated debate and a direct offensive remark. All well and good,...

That right there is fucking hilarious. I honestly can't believe those nutjobs thought they'd actually provoke one of those nerds to assault them. Many of those guys have signs such as "Odin is God," "God loves Gay Robin," "Superman died for your sins," and the like. Oh. My. Fucking. God. I...

I was at my local library this morning and I couldn't believe what I heard the new librarian said. There was an 11 yr old boy who was trying to get a library card. (I know he was 11 because the librarian asked him how old he was.) She asked if his parents were there and he said no. She asked if...

Hermit is mine. Well, Hermit and John Candy but John Candy is dead. :(

Ever heard someone's name and had to stifle a laugh because it was hilarious? Well, share the good humor here! Dick Hoar

Well, as some of you know, I've been taking a professional driving course for the last two weeks. This morning was the finale: the complete test to make sure I know what I'm doing so I can get my Commercial Driver's License. This involves doing a complete pre-trip inspection, a complete air system...

Well I'm still poor. Shit happens. My lovely new car got reposessed and I was left with an old beater buick. The positive of this car is that I was very hard on the used car dealer when getting this car for my wife(at the time it was to be a second car). I was brutally honest on the cars he had me...

Post here if: Something amusing, but not thread-worthy, happened to you Something doesn't fit into another thread, but doesn't deserve its own thread You want to ascend to glory in the WTF halls Nobody would care but you HAVE to share it Your cat does something funny Your mom does something...

I kid you fucking not.... Seen this shit on Colbert Report and had to check it out..... Apparently this liquid lunch of sorts was a hot item involved in a fraud scam from some Travis L Wright. He apparently raised $145 million from investors for "Real Estate Investments", however instead...

A few of you have expressed to me that you are interested in losing weight. I myself would like to lose 20 pounds before December 21st. I was wondering if anybody would be interested in some sort of weight loss challenge/thread. We can do weekly weigh ins and try to help motivate each other. ...

Well, just thought I'd drop this right here, because there's a number of things I want to share with the lot of you, that I'm really happy with. As I stated before, me and my girlfriend will be living together, soon. We found this awesome apartment in Weesp, on the eighth floor of the same...

So I went to MEPS a couple of days ago and I would like to know the experiences that other people had while being there. What "advisement" did your recruiter give you beforehand? Did you lie on part of your physical? On a lighter note though, what branch are you joining or have joined? Job?...

Some British slang I already know: 1. Oh, that's bloody bullocks you bloody wanker! 2. Cup of tea me lovely? 3. You put a hole in me knickers you bloody wanker! 4. That was spot on you bloody wanker!
